Los Angeles, Los Angeles High School, 1939. Two issues, Summer and Winter, of the 1939 Los Angeles High School yearbook. Inscribed by Bukowski for John Martin of Black Sparrow Press next to his high school photo, with a reference to the brief bio accompanying his picture. This photo was used on the cover of Black Sparrow's publication of Bukowski's Ham on Rye. Included is a 1982 typed letter signed by Bukowski (as "Henry," his given name and the name used in the yearbook), in which Bukowski tells Martin which of his classmates are depicted as characters in Ham on Rye. (Martin has annotated the yearbook with laid in slips of paper at the corresponding pages.) The second volume is also signed by Bukowski with an arrow pointing at his tiny head in the ROTC group photo. Both volumes are in very good condition; the Winter volume has an owner name stamped on the cover. [#035288] SOLD
